DSWD reports aid given to 14.8 M SAP beneficiaries
As of May 8, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) reported that over 14.8 million beneficiaries, or 82.5% of the 18 million targeted low-income families, have received the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) subsidy.
A total of P82.8 billion in cash subsidies has been distributed to these beneficiaries.
Of the total beneficiaries, 10.9 million are low-income, non-Pantawid Pamilya families who received P65.4 billion.
LGUs are expected to complete the distribution to the remaining beneficiaries by May 10.
DSWD Secretary Rolando Bautista and DILG Secretary Eduardo Año agreed to extend the distribution deadline to May 10.
The release of the second tranche of SAP funds is contingent upon LGUs submitting their liquidation reports for the first tranche.
The DSWD will conduct a post-payout validation within 15 days of receiving liquidation reports to ensure beneficiaries are eligible and to prevent duplications.
